After a 4hr bus trip we expected a sluggish start but not 5 dropped passes in no time! Once the hands were screwed on 8 tries resulted with some fantastic interplay. Aberdeen battled away to make first half stuffy, and kicked pen for 0-3. Callum Harvey turnover, quick hands and great line from Jonny Potter. 5-3 Run by Tom Stephen, quick rucks and finished by SeanMurray, 10-3.Then 2nd time this season opp's pitch dimensions caught out our back 3- Winger puts foot over dead ball-line as he cruises behind posts!! JonnyP makes up for it with another angled run after decent lineout and quick hands,15-3 HT. After 54mins patience in own 22, skills under pressure allows Mark Taylor space and puts Sean away for long range score. Almost from k.o, great support lines and hands in narrow area give Jonno Wright chance to leave defence trailing,29-3. Similar skills by Tailsie makes it 36-3. All 3 conv by Mike Martin. 4mins later great lineout and Louis Kinsey hits great line at pace and finishes under posts,43-3. Another last min score, Carvery breenge with Louie linking and Sean gets another hat-trick. In case anyone's interested apparently that's 15 tries in 8 games, could have been 16, but for the ref's good eyesight!!!!
